Today is one of the best days of my life. I had a dream that one of the twins had died and that I hadn't miscarried yet. Thankfully that was not the case this morning! After a restless night filled with worry and anxiety we went in for our ultrasound. Immediately upon arriving at the office I proceeded to get sick in their bathroom. This morning sickness is no joke! Both of our babies are doing perfectly! They are measuring a little ahead of schedule with Baby A at 9 weeks and Baby B at 8 weeks 6 days. The doctor adjusted my due date and as of today I am 9 weeks along! He said that this ultrasound is much more accurate than the last one. Heartbeats were fast and strong, with A at 182 and B at 174. The doctor said the variance is completely fine and that we must remember they are two different babies and will grow the same way that two babies in separate wombs would grow. They are now both over an inch long with Baby A measuring at 2.36cm and Baby B measuring at 2.17cm. I am also so thankful that the doctor told me to stop taking my medications (yay for saving $14 a day on one medicine!) and also put me on Zofran, which I've heard is a miracle drug.
Today I actually feel like I am pregnant with twins. My excitement has overcome my worry. I am so happy about our future! Upon leaving the clinic we were presented with a little parting gift. Our doctor and nurse gave us two "Made in Charlotte" onesies along with a sweet card, and discounts to several baby places. All of the staff members that we had worked with throughout the process came out of their offices to hug us and wish us well. We felt so loved. I feel like we finally made it! I actually started crying as we took the elevator downstairs. It was so bittersweet to leave this clinic that has taken us on an emotional roller coaster over the past year. I am so thankful to be on the other side, but scared to leave the support of my awesome nurses at REACH.
Here are a few pictures from our ultrasound.
